Best of Match Game: 30 Episodes



This is Not a One Disc Set
For some reason Amazon is taking the reviews for "The Dumb Dora Edition" which is only one disc and placing them on this product. This version is a reprint of the old "Best of Match Game" set which went out of print. The content of the old set & this set is exactly the same. So if you already have the old Best of Match Game set there is nothing new here. However for those who didn't buy the old set it's nice to see this in print again.

I only gave the product 4 stars because I don't necessarily think the episodes picked are "the best" of Match Game. It seems when picking episodes they went with what famous celebrity was on the panel instead of really funny/memorable moments in many cases. I also think there are too many episodes before Brett & Charles joined in 1973 and then too many episodes after Richard left in 1978. Personally the best for me would be when Brett, Charles, & Richard were all on the panel.

However there are still some great episodes on this set...

I just received the "Mill Creek, copyright 2010" version, and there are definitely four discs.
